Lady of The lake

Paint & Sip – PIE Guided Painting Event

  • Workshop
  • Beginner
  • PIE Action Painting Studio Basel
  • 2.5 Hours
from 70.– CHF

Up to 20% discount for Members

Misty greens, quiet water, and a forest that feels almost enchanted.
Step into a serene, mystical landscape where a hidden lake rests between mossy rocks and dense foliage. This painting is all about exploring the richness of green — mixing a wide range of tones, from deep forest hues to soft, glowing highlights, to create a scene that feels alive, atmospheric, and full of depth.
We’ll work in multiple layers to slowly build the landscape, giving the forest and water a sense of space and immersion. You’ll learn how to create depth through colour variation, transparency, and texture — letting each layer add to the mood and mystery of the scene.

Using a mix of tools like palette knife, brush, and sponge, we’ll experiment with different techniques to bring the environment to life: textured foliage, soft moss on rocks, and shimmering reflections across the water’s surface.
It’s a process of building, blending, and discovering — where every shade of green adds to a calm, immersive world that feels both real and dreamlike.

Heavy Blossom. Petals in 3D. Spring you can almost touch.
Ever wanted to paint something so lush you feel like you could pluck it off the canvas? This is your moment.

In this semi-guided, textured acrylic session, you’ll create a dreamy cherry blossom branch in soft pink hues, set against a hazy pastel background. With modelling paste, you’ll build thick, velvety petals and a sturdy branch that practically pop out of the painting.

We’ll guide you in mixing tender tones, sculpting with your palette knife, and layering texture so the blossoms feel weighty, rich, and irresistibly touchable.
Perfect for beginners, texture lovers, and anyone who wants to bring a little springtime magic into their space — no matter the season.

It’s the ideal balance of support and self-expression: enough structure to feel confident, enough freedom to surprise yourself. A little deeper, a little more intentional, and always a lot of fun.

Sail-la-Vie: An Impression of Sunset Shenanigans

Paint & Sip – PIE Guided Painting Event

  • Workshop
  • Beginner

  • 2.5 Hours
from 70.– CHF

Up to 20% discount for Members

Sunset? Set Sail.
Somewhere between day and night, colour and calm, there’s a moment where everything just glows. That’s what we’re capturing in this impressionist-inspired painting session — a sailboat drifting into golden hour, two figures silhouetted against a sky that forgot how to be subtle.

But this time, it’s all about how we paint it. Inspired by impressionist techniques, you’ll work with hundreds — even thousands — of small, expressive brushstrokes that come together to form a rich, vibrant whole. Up close, it’s texture, rhythm, and movement; from a distance, it all blends into a luminous, atmospheric scene.

We’ll guide you in building layers, balancing warm and cool tones, and composing a scene that feels both complex and harmonious. It’s a process of patience and intuition — letting each small mark play its role in something much bigger.
No heavy blending, no overworking — just colour, light, and the quiet magic of many small strokes coming together into one glowing, unforgettable piece.

Action Painting

Feel First, Paint Second: A PIE Workshop

  • Workshop
  • Beginner
  • PIE Action Painting Studio Basel
  • 2,5 hours
from 60.– CHF

Up to 20% discount for Members

Splash. Drip. Splatter. Total freedom.
The perfect stress release after a tense week.

In this action painting session, you’ll suit up in full-body protective overalls, grab your colours, and step into a space designed for making a glorious mess. Channel your inner Pollock as you throw, pour, drip, and smear paint with energy and spontaneity.

But this experience can be as wild — or as introspective — as you want it to be.

Beyond the action, this workshop also opens the door to intuitive painting: a space to slow down, tune in, and connect with your inner landscape. Through a short but meaningful introduction to colour theory, you’ll explore how thoughts and emotions can be translated into colour, movement, and form.

You’ll experiment with layering, different tools, and a wide range of mark-making techniques — from bold, expressive gestures to more subtle, intentional strokes. Throwing paint is just one of many possibilities — you choose where to place your focus.

No rules, no pressure — just pure expression, guided by our artists who support your individual approach and meet you where you are.

This is more than fun — it’s liberating. You’ll leave not only with a unique artwork, but with new ways to express yourself, release tension, and tap into your creativity — on and off the canvas.



✨ How PIE Action Painting Workshops Run
You arrive, take a breath, pick your welcome drink — and instead of sitting down, you step into it. You’ll get your protective overalls, switch into painting mode, and get ready to let go a little. We start on time, so make sure you’re there and ready to dive in.

Next, your instructor takes the stage, giving you a quick, easy intro to the materials and tools — showing you what’s possible, how to move, splash, layer, and play. Nothing overwhelming, just getting you comfortable and ready to experiment.

Then the fun really begins. You’ll explore layering, different tools, and a wide range of mark-making techniques. The space is yours to explore: move between the splashing area, where you can let loose, and the refining area, where you can slow things down and shape your piece. Throughout the session, your instructor is there to guide you with personal tips and support.

At the end, we bring everyone together for a group photo — with your finished piece and great vibes.

No prior experience? No problem! We provide everything*:

  • A chill, friendly atmosphere
  • All the necessary art supplies
  • Full-body overalls and shoe protection
  • A mix of demonstration & individual guidance

    * We provide protective overalls, but we highly recommend not wearing your favourite or most expensive clothes, as paint may still seep through. Please also bring a pair of socks that you don’t mind getting paint on or wet.

Seaside In Cornwall

Where the land meets the sea — wild, windswept, and quietly breathtaking.
In this painting session, we travel to the coast of Cornwall: a glowing cyan-blue horizon stretching into the distance, rugged grey rocks shaping the shoreline, and a soft, flower-filled field in the foreground. A winding path leads the eye gently down towards the sea, inviting you into the landscape.

This piece is all about depth and perspective — how to guide the viewer through your painting and create a real sense of space. You’ll explore different ways of building distance: using scale, layering, colour shifts, and atmospheric softness to push elements back or bring them forward.

From the delicate details of the flowers in the foreground to the calm, open horizon, you’ll learn how each part of the composition plays a role in creating balance and movement. Step by step, your landscape will unfold into a scene that feels expansive, immersive, and full of quiet coastal energy.

See beyond the flower — and turn it into pure colour and feeling.
In this oil painting workshop, we zoom in on a red parrot flower, inspired by Georgia O’Keeffe’s iconic way of transforming flowers into bold, enlarged worlds of colour and form - sensual, expressive, and almost abstract.

The focus of this session is on colour depth and emotional expression. You’ll work with a rich spectrum of red tones, learning how to mix, layer, and refine colour to create vibrant variation and subtle shifts in hue. We’ll also explore blending techniques, soft transitions, and how to smooth edges to create a flowing, almost dreamlike composition.

This is a deeply sensory painting experience — elegant, expressive, and open. While it carries a soft, feminine energy, it is absolutely for everyone. All genders are warmly welcome to create their own interpretation of this iconic, O’Keeffe-inspired floral world.

You’ll leave with a striking, close-up floral masterpiece that feels both powerful and poetic — a study in colour, emotion, and presence.

Sip, swirl, and let it shimmer — this time in oil.
Two cocktails clinking in the glow of summer — olives, cherries, citrus slices, and colours that feel like golden hour captured in glass. In this oil painting session, we take a very similar playful and elegant subject, but explore it through the richness and depth of oils, building luminous layers and soft transitions that bring the scene to life.

You’ll learn how to create transparent effects in glass using oil techniques — how to suggest liquid, reflection, and refraction without over-defining every detail. We’ll also explore how to build that signature shiny, glittering surface of a cocktail glass, where light breaks, bends, and sparkles across curves and edges.

Through layering, blending, and controlled brushwork, you’ll develop soft reflections and subtle colour shifts that make the glasses feel almost tangible. It’s all about capturing that balance between clarity and atmosphere — letting the paint stay fluid, luminous, and alive.
Bright, summery, and effortlessly chic — a glowing cocktail moment, reimagined in oils. 🍸

The bloom is real.
High up in the Umbrian hills, there’s a place where wildflowers don’t just grow — they explode across the land in waves of red, yellow, violet and white. Welcome to Castelluccio di Norcia, home of the Fioritura — a yearly floral phenomenon that turns the landscape into one giant, breathtaking canvas.

In this bold, colorful painting session, we’re capturing the essence of that explosion — the vibrant fields, the soft geometry of the plains, the contrast of nature’s palette with that tiny village on top of it all.

You’ll learn to layer color, add texture, and use contrast to recreate this jaw-dropping view — no experience necessary. Just bring your love of landscape, color, and a little Italian flair.
This isn’t painting flowers in a vase — this is painting a valley in bloom.

Landscapes? More like dreamscapes. Let’s get surreal — in texture.
Ready to take your imagination one step further? In this textured edition of our dreamscapes, we move beyond the flat surface and start building dimension into your world. Using acrylic paint, modelling paste, sponge, and palette knife, you’ll create surreal landscapes that don’t just look deep — they feel deep.

Think shifting skies, floating forms, glowing colours, and layered structures that play with perspective. You’ll learn how to build up surfaces, combine abstract and semi-real elements, and use texture to guide the eye through space — reinforcing depth while keeping that dreamy, intuitive flow.
This isn’t about painting what’s “real” — it’s about constructing what feels real to you, layer by layer.

Next, your instructor takes the stage, giving you a quick, easy intro to the materials — a clear theme and technique to start with – think of them as your creative launchpad. From there, it’s all about what you do with it.

Then the fun really begins. Our instructors are there to show you the essentials, share tips, and keep you inspired… but the real magic happens when you dive into your own creative waters ;) Follow the guidance closely or take a playful detour – both paths are perfect.
It’s the ideal balance of support and self-expression: enough structure to feel confident, enough freedom to surprise yourself. A little deeper, a little more intentional, and always a lot of fun.

At the end, we bring everyone together for a group photo — your finished piece, great vibes.

No prior experience? No problem! We provide everything:

  • A chill, friendly atmosphere
  • All the necessary art supplies
  • Pre-prepared templates
  • Step-by-step guidance from our instructors

Fluorescent, fabulous, and floating straight into your heart.
Dive into the deep, dark, and dazzling as we paint one of the ocean’s most mesmerizing creatures: the jellyfish. Ethereal, elegant, and slightly alien, these drifting wonders take center stage in this glowing, one-night-only art session.

You’ll create your own luminous jelly in motion — translucent, flowing, and completely hypnotic. And here’s the twist: we’ll be using fluorescent paint that glows in the dark. Yep. When the lights go out, your jellyfish lights up like it just came back from a rave in the Mariana Trench. 🪼💫

Along the way, you’ll learn how to build your painting in layers — creating depth, movement, and that signature underwater glow. We’ll experiment with palette knife and sponge techniques to form soft gradients, organic textures, and fluid transitions. You’ll also explore opacity and transparency: how some colours cover, others reveal, and how combining both creates that magical, floating effect.

This bird isn’t just perched — it’s posing.
A bold, textured bird portrait with creamy layers, colour, and character. In this vibrant painting session, we’re giving the great tit a full-on glamour moment: thick, sculpted strokes, glossy feathers you can almost touch, and a background in unapologetic pink.

You’ll work with modelling paste and rich acrylics to build a portrait that’s part painting, part sculpture — playing with light, shadow, and feather detail until your bird is brimming with personality.
It’s tactile, it’s joyful, and it’s a little bit fabulous.

Soft. Lush. A little bit indulgent.
A blooming peony in peach and pink — melting almost seamlessly into a background of the same dreamy tones.

In this still life session, it’s all about letting go and trusting your brush. We’ll work with expressive strokes and soft layering to capture the fullness and movement of the flower, while gently guiding the shape so it sits just right in perspective.

Think rich, glowing colours that feel both vibrant and refined — tones that blend into each other, creating depth without ever feeling heavy. It’s loose, elegant, and quietly striking.
A painting that feels like a soft moment — and looks even better the longer you linger on it. 🌸

from 70.– CHF

Up to 20% discount for Members

Misty greens, quiet water, and a forest that feels almost enchanted.
Step into a serene, mystical landscape where a hidden lake rests between mossy rocks and dense foliage. This painting is all about exploring the richness of green — mixing a wide range of tones, from deep forest hues to soft, glowing highlights, to create a scene that feels alive, atmospheric, and full of depth.
We’ll work in multiple layers to slowly build the landscape, giving the forest and water a sense of space and immersion. You’ll learn how to create depth through colour variation, transparency, and texture — letting each layer add to the mood and mystery of the scene.

Using a mix of tools like palette knife, brush, and sponge, we’ll experiment with different techniques to bring the environment to life: textured foliage, soft moss on rocks, and shimmering reflections across the water’s surface.
It’s a process of building, blending, and discovering — where every shade of green adds to a calm, immersive world that feels both real and dreamlike.

Heavy Blossom. Petals in 3D. Spring you can almost touch.
Ever wanted to paint something so lush you feel like you could pluck it off the canvas? This is your moment.

In this semi-guided, textured acrylic session, you’ll create a dreamy cherry blossom branch in soft pink hues, set against a hazy pastel background. With modelling paste, you’ll build thick, velvety petals and a sturdy branch that practically pop out of the painting.

We’ll guide you in mixing tender tones, sculpting with your palette knife, and layering texture so the blossoms feel weighty, rich, and irresistibly touchable.
Perfect for beginners, texture lovers, and anyone who wants to bring a little springtime magic into their space — no matter the season.

from 60.– CHF

Splash. Drip. Splatter. Total freedom.
The perfect stress release after a tense week.

In this action painting session, you’ll suit up in full-body protective overalls, grab your colours, and step into a space designed for making a glorious mess. Channel your inner Pollock as you throw, pour, drip, and smear paint with energy and spontaneity.

But this experience can be as wild — or as introspective — as you want it to be.

Beyond the action, this workshop also opens the door to intuitive painting: a space to slow down, tune in, and connect with your inner landscape. Through a short but meaningful introduction to colour theory, you’ll explore how thoughts and emotions can be translated into colour, movement, and form.

You’ll experiment with layering, different tools, and a wide range of mark-making techniques — from bold, expressive gestures to more subtle, intentional strokes. Throwing paint is just one of many possibilities — you choose where to place your focus.

No rules, no pressure — just pure expression, guided by our artists who support your individual approach and meet you where you are.

This is more than fun — it’s liberating. You’ll leave not only with a unique artwork, but with new ways to express yourself, release tension, and tap into your creativity — on and off the canvas.



✨ How PIE Action Painting Workshops Run
You arrive, take a breath, pick your welcome drink — and instead of sitting down, you step into it. You’ll get your protective overalls, switch into painting mode, and get ready to let go a little. We start on time, so make sure you’re there and ready to dive in.

Next, your instructor takes the stage, giving you a quick, easy intro to the materials and tools — showing you what’s possible, how to move, splash, layer, and play. Nothing overwhelming, just getting you comfortable and ready to experiment.

Then the fun really begins. You’ll explore layering, different tools, and a wide range of mark-making techniques. The space is yours to explore: move between the splashing area, where you can let loose, and the refining area, where you can slow things down and shape your piece. Throughout the session, your instructor is there to guide you with personal tips and support.

At the end, we bring everyone together for a group photo — with your finished piece and great vibes.

No prior experience? No problem! We provide everything*:

  • A chill, friendly atmosphere
  • All the necessary art supplies
  • Full-body overalls and shoe protection
  • A mix of demonstration & individual guidance

    * We provide protective overalls, but we highly recommend not wearing your favourite or most expensive clothes, as paint may still seep through. Please also bring a pair of socks that you don’t mind getting paint on or wet.

Sunset? Set Sail.
Somewhere between day and night, colour and calm, there’s a moment where everything just glows. That’s what we’re capturing in this impressionist-inspired painting session — a sailboat drifting into golden hour, two figures silhouetted against a sky that forgot how to be subtle.

But this time, it’s all about how we paint it. Inspired by impressionist techniques, you’ll work with hundreds — even thousands — of small, expressive brushstrokes that come together to form a rich, vibrant whole. Up close, it’s texture, rhythm, and movement; from a distance, it all blends into a luminous, atmospheric scene.

We’ll guide you in building layers, balancing warm and cool tones, and composing a scene that feels both complex and harmonious. It’s a process of patience and intuition — letting each small mark play its role in something much bigger.
No heavy blending, no overworking — just colour, light, and the quiet magic of many small strokes coming together into one glowing, unforgettable piece.

Float, hide, and spot the fluff.
A peaceful pond, soft water lilies… and a tiny black cat sneaking through the scene.
In this feel-good painting session, we take a Monet-inspired setting and add a playful twist — capturing the calm beauty of water, layered lily pads, and that curious little swimmer making its way through. It’s all about expressive brushstrokes, fresh greens, and getting those colours just right so the whole scene feels alive.

And then there’s the star of the show: that little black fluff. We’ll help you bring out the charm in those bright, curious eyes, while also exploring how reflections dance on the water’s surface.
Soft, dreamy, and just a little bit cheeky — this one’s a joy from start to finish.

Where vessels become sculpture – and clay becomes yours.

This is more than just a bowl or a vase. It’s a chance to slow down, shape with intention, and create a piece that’s both functional and deeply personal. In this immersive ceramics workshop, we’ll explore how vessels — cups, plates, teapots, decorative forms — can be both useful and sculptural.

With expert guidance, you’ll learn traditional hand-building techniques and how to push their boundaries — forming shapes that reflect not just what you need, but who you are. You’ll be encouraged to experiment with form, texture, and creative expression as you sculpt a piece that feels grounded, beautiful, and uniquely yours.

In this class, you will create a vase or vessel approximately 30 cm tall. This size is achievable for beginners within the available time using the coiling technique.

Once complete, your work will be glazed and fired — ready to collect in about 4 weeks.

Want to bring it to life with colour? Book a painting session and receive a special discount to decorate your own ceramic creation.

Whether you’re just beginning or looking to deepen your connection to clay, this workshop invites you to transform a simple object into a soulful sculpture — one you’ll be proud to use, display, and keep.


✨ How PIE Ceramics Workshops Work

Our ceramics workshops are one-off sessions designed for intensive skill-sharing in a relaxed, creative atmosphere. Whether you’re just starting your journey with clay or already have some experience and want to explore a new technique, this is the perfect chance to get your hands dirty, learn something new — and follow your creativity wherever it leads.

Each workshop focuses on a specific process or form, guided by a professional ceramic artist. You’ll learn the core technique step by step, then have space to experiment, personalise, and take your piece in whatever direction feels right to you. It’s structured, supportive, and creatively wide open.

Workshops take place in our cosy, fully-equipped studios in Zürich and Basel, where everything’s set up to support your creative flow — including materials, tools, good lighting, and good vibes.

No pressure, no perfection — just the joy of discovering what you can create with your own two hands.

🎡 Just curious? Even better.

This is your chance to dip a toe (or both hands!) into the wild, whirling world of the pottery wheel — no pressure, no experience needed. In this wheel-throwing taster workshop, you’ll learn how to center, pull, and shape clay like a true ceramic boss. It’s messy, magical, and way more satisfying than your average Saturday scroll session.

No experience necessary. Just bring your curiosity — we’ll handle the spin cycle.

  • Step-by-step intro to centering, pulling, and shaping on the wheel

  • A playful, supportive vibe where mistakes are just part of the fun
  • All tools, clay, and good energy provided

🎁 What You’ll Take Home

  • One fired & glazed ceramic piece (included in the price — we’ll handle the rest)
  • The option to keep more pieces for CHF 15 each
  • The pure joy of creating something from spinning mud
  • A solid intro to wheel-throwing, and whether a full course is your next step

🧠 Who It’s For

  • Total newbies who’ve always wanted to try “that Ghost movie thing”
  • Hands-on creatives craving a screen-free adventure
  • Friends, dates, teams — anyone up for a shared spin
  • Future potters testing the waters before diving into a full course
